The post CME Options Data Suggests Cautious Outlook for Bitcoin appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
According to CF Benchmarks’ analysis of CME options trading data, the odds of a near-term Bitcoin rally remain slim, a barometer for institutional activity. CF Benchmarks also found that implied volatility for short-dated out-of-the-money (OTM) put options is higher than implied volatility for OTM calls. This suggests that investors are still cautious about near-term downside risks and are willing to pay a premium for protective puts. Investors are growing more optimistic about Bitcoin’s long-term prospects and are willing to pay more to position themselves for a potential upside by buying OTM calls.
